Top-Notch Safety
- Six airbags standard across all variants
- ABS with EBD for better braking
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) for control
- Reverse parking sensors for easy parking
- 3-point seat belts for all passengers
These safety features make the Alto K10 one of the safest cars in its segment, giving peace of mind to families and new drivers. The recent update in March 2025 added six airbags as standard, a first for an affordable car in India.
Affordable and Ready to Roll
Priced between ₹4.23 lakh and ₹6.21 lakh (ex-showroom), the Alto K10 remains India’s most budget-friendly car with premium features. It competes with the Renault Kwid and Maruti’s own S-Presso but stands out with its trusted brand name and vast service network of over 4,500 touchpoints across India. With a price hike of up to ₹16,000 in 2025, it still offers great value. Bookings are open at Maruti Suzuki Arena showrooms, and test drives are available. For young buyers and families wanting a stylish, safe, and economical car, the new Alto K10 is a game-changer.
